minus-square@crossoverlinkEnglish3•edit-28 months agoSideloading and customisation is a downside. Like other Apple devices, the App Store is the way they want you to install things. There are ways to sideload things like Kodi through pre signed certificates but I don’t know much about it. Dont need another Apple device.
minus-square@whynotzoidberglinkEnglish2•8 months agoThey might miss out on the convenience of AirPlay, though. AFAIK you cant do DLNA streaming to the Apple TV. AirPlay really bridges the gaps for me, wrt having any app available on my tv at any time. Combined with steam connect, it’s a decent multi use box with solid, non-intrusive updates. Just wish the garden wasn’t so unnecessarily walled.
